how is that a How To? and why not upload to youtube so we can get decent quality and larger image sizes?

a slide show in random order to crappy music is NOT a how to.

I posted that from my phone I did it like that because I don't have 4 hours to post every pic. It is in order you have to clear the base before you put the pearl on. It was a video I made originally to show a guy what his bike was going to look like (test panel) so I had it on my phone.

Fail.
I couldn't stand to listen to it, so I turned off the volume.
Then I couldn't stand to watch the photos go by with no detail on "How to".

If you DON'T want people bashing you don't post something with the title "HOW TO" when what you show is NOT A FREAKING HOW TO and isn't even in sequence. NOTHING you say can change the FACT what you posted is NOT a how-to, maybe if you change the title to something like "Some ghost flames I did" or something like that you wouldn't have this issue.

It is in sequence if you had read the 1st reply I told you that sand, prime, base, clear, layout, spray blue pearl, demask and clear agin. That is how you paint ghost flames. "A pitcher is worth a 1000 words" no matter how minty "how to" videos you watch I can tell your lack of paying attention to detail will keep you from ever being able to do it!

OK, so you sanded it down, primered white then repainted what looks to be pretty much the same color that was already on the piece before sanding? That was what was throwing us since you didn't have WORDS EXPLAINING IT. We assumed you where starting with the existing color and adding flames over it, not starting from scratch.

Yes. I was demoing the blue color and the ghost flames. So I just picked up a old finder I had at the shop and used it. I don't mind answering any ? someone has about paint. I have been doing this for 21 years and I am always willing to help anyone that wants to do it there self.
